Hi, I’m Shiqi Wang.
Originally from Chongqing. Hiker, runner, paragliding pilot. Spent a decade living between Hong Kong, Shanghai and Paris, studied at HKBU and HEC Paris, managed international art galleries, and built cultural projects bridging China and Europe.
When I came home, I watched wave after wave of foreign travellers discovering my city for the first time : curious, excited, and constantly running into walls that shouldn't exist.
Fluent in Chinese, English and French, and in the subtler art of translating cultures. I decided it was time to put all of that to work - helping travellers discover my city, my culture, and my country the way it deserves to be experienced.
Why Yedu?
Yedu (野渡) comes from a line in a Tang dynasty poem by Wei Yingwu, written more than twelve hundred years ago:
春潮带雨晚来急,野渡无人舟自横 。
Spring tide carries the evening rain. At the wild crossing, no ferryman, the boat drifts sideways on its own.
The image is a riverbank with no infrastructure. No dock, no signage, no one to take your ticket. Just a boat that found its own angle to the current.
That's what I want this to be for travelers coming to Southwest China. Not a classic packaged tour, not a checklist of places someone else decided were worth your time. A crossing you make on your own terms, with someone who actually lives on this side of the river pointing at the doorways you would have walked past.
The China most travel brands sell is the one that's been polished for export. The China I want to show you is the one I came back for.
